Best Answer

The answer should be 17.25. Twenty-five percent OF 23 is 5.75. When you subtract that from 23 to find out how much OFF that is, you get 17.25.

A shortcut in this case would be to multiply by the reciprocal (75%, or 0.75). Seventy-five percent of something is the same as 25% taken off of it.
